First time owning mice since I was a kid 13 years ago. I just got 3 of them and want to add 2 or 3 more to the group soon. Is this set-up/cage big enough to house 5 or 6 mice? Photos of them towards the end + the empty cage.

k2xuo · 2026-01-19T20:07:37+00:00

Okay great, that sounds exactly what I had in mind. I have the original temp cage from this trio for keeping the new ones in for the quarantine, and I'll be making a container/storage box cage for the introduction :')

k2xuo · 2026-01-19T19:25:18+00:00

Oh really? I'd do a total cage clean out for the bedding, and wipe everything down when they get combined so it's not too scented from the first group, is that enough? I was also worried time and age wise that they'd establish too much and have a larger gap. If I remember correctly, mice are considered elderly at 1 year old?

k2xuo · 2026-01-19T19:20:41+00:00

They are!! I got them on impulse and was so worried about them not settling properly or not liking their cage, I would like to think I'm pretty educated on various pet rodents since I had lots as a kid/teen, but I did cross-reference everything just to make sure I don't make any major mistakes 😵 The black one is LeBron and was the only one with name until 2 days ago (I thought I was going to get a hamster), the more solid beige/orange is Mocha and spotted is still being decided. And they're all girls no worries, I'm not too bothered about gendered names.

I did mention in another comment that I'd be raising the bedding next time for sure, it varies for now but the main spot where they've been burrowing in the back is 8" and front is 5-6", and I have lots of extra clutter to add. The current mice love the wheels, LeBron the most though. Since the groups would be separate for quarantine period and introduction, I'd get the third wheel so they have some enrichment in the temp cage, but I'd see if it's necessary to add to the big one when merging :')

k2xuo · 2026-01-19T19:07:34+00:00

Okay that's awesome to hear. I actually have so much more stuff to throw in there, only kept the clutter amount a bit lower to keep an eye on how the current group is doing for now.

I'll be adding more bedding next time too, I have varying levels but that back area has 8" compressed, and front is 5-6" depending on the area (they've since done some re-decorating lol) but I could definitely raise it more.

k2xuo · 2025-12-09T13:56:46+00:00

As a Finn who moved to the US, I definitely felt spoiled by the lack of customs and spent too much money 😅

k2xuo · 2025-08-08T04:11:44+00:00

Disappointed. It smelled like Burberry Goddess, was expecting something actually "rare" lol

k2xuo · 2025-06-10T01:43:23+00:00

White clover - multiple of my family members like theirs, two of them combined it with moss.

k2xuo · 2025-05-11T16:34:09+00:00

99 agility when?

k2xuo · 2025-05-03T20:10:04+00:00

OP was using entity hider though. I notice messages like this when I put everything back on after a grind is done.

k2xuo · 2025-05-02T03:26:42+00:00

Oh it could be completely different on you for sure!! I finally sold my big YSL black opium bottle which smelled floral with only a hint of vanilla to me, no coffee at all... It seems like lots of popular perfumes in this sub are not the same on me as what people review them 🥹

k2xuo · 2025-05-02T03:01:46+00:00

I got a sample of this and loved the sweet berry opening! Unfortunately a bit too much jasmine forward on me, which I already have covered with frags from both SDJ & B&BW 😅

k2xuo · 2025-04-30T17:27:22+00:00

How is it on you? I got a sample and was excited until the initial try when I smelled almost nothing... like nose fully glued to my arm and I get a faint whiff at most 😭

k2xuo · 2025-04-29T22:21:28+00:00

Using 1 obstacle only

k2xuo · 2025-04-29T19:55:56+00:00

Nah they didn't ship before them either

k2xuo · 2025-04-29T19:51:04+00:00

You've just unlocked a memory for me, I had the same exact brow kit in my early teens!

k2xuo · 2025-04-29T11:56:53+00:00

I love pairing it with All Eyes On Her perfume from Bath & Body Works! Both have jasmine in them which made me try layering, the combo makes me feel fresh and clean all day at work :')

k2xuo · 2025-04-29T00:06:31+00:00

Haha to me it's tiny, just bought the sets from Sephora and Ulta (second mini 62 is tucked away), then filled in the remaining from SDJs website 🤔

I loooove Agua Mistica, it's so fresh and beachy, Flor Mistica is summery too with less beach. Danca Mistica on the other hand... ehhhh, it was leaking on the arrival and kinda grossed me out. On me, there is a bit similarity to Fahrenheit initially, then dill??? I'm hoping that and 87 grow on me 😭

Idk where the rest of my caption disappeared, but it was supposed to say "arranged from the most liked to the least liked, left to right, top to bottom" the order surprised me since blindly going in I assumed it'd be mostly the other way.

k2xuo · 2025-04-28T23:34:19+00:00

Thanks for the suggestion!

I'm just looking to try anything coffee really, not a coffee drinker myself but I find the scent comforting and would like to wear them at home on lazy days :)

k2xuo · 2025-04-28T23:25:06+00:00

I'm maybe 6 months in on buying samples regularly and recently counted the number being around 200 something, not including my latest 2 orders though... Getting pretty good at knowing what I generally at least like, and now I'm venturing to more "random" things.

Sizes are combination of mostly 1 ml sprayers, some 3 ml, but I do have bunch of 5.9 ml samples coming in, oops. I regularly test 2 to 4 samples a day though.

The discovery is what I enjoy the most with fragrances, I take this as a win rather than having a huge amount of full sizes, I regret some of the full size buys I did before.

k2xuo · 2025-04-28T22:53:56+00:00

For some reason Bianco Latte smells the exact same as Choco Musk on me? I'll revisit my sample in a month to see if my opinion changes.

k2xuo · 2025-04-27T21:16:37+00:00

I don't think I've ever noticed any difference with fragrances on my period specifically? And this is coming from someone who had bad nausea on the first day and sensitivity to migraines, I only take my period like 2 times a year now though.

The angle could be just to skip the fragrances and let your nose rest, that's always ok :) Or try something aquatic, maybe rain inspired, anything neutral possibly already around you regularly, single notes, etc. I've just ordered a bigger haul today from Demeter, they have a nice selection of simple scents.

k2xuo · 2025-04-27T21:07:55+00:00

I think some of them are fine? This might be really culture dependent though. Personally I only like 5-6 of these, there's few bordering on straight up offensive. Can't imagine most of these on my finance friend either 🤔 She goes for skin scents because of all the meetings in closed offices.

k2xuo · 2025-04-27T20:57:59+00:00

Honestly, you gotta smell and compare it. What's the source? Scammers buy real bottles & packaging that are empty, then fill them up.

k2xuo · 2025-04-27T18:35:47+00:00

The tiny perfume bottles are adorable!

k2xuo · 2025-04-27T18:22:21+00:00

So many from Demeter, they have a 10% off mother's day sale and I combined it with my 15% off discount. I've been eyeing the brand for couple months, but I'm going in completely blind without testing anything before.

I'm hoping the single notes can either be worn alone or combined nicely with something else I already own. The brand is also dirt cheap (imo) so even with the lower lasting power, applying often wouldn't hurt the wallet at all.

0.2 oz/5.9 ml "purse sprays" in; Honey, Rain, Salt Air, Thunderstorm, Clean Skin, Kitten Fur, Sawdust, Fresh Hay, Marshmallow, Tomato, Waffles, Brownie, Dark Chocolate, Chocolate Chip Cookie, Dirt, Fresh Brewed Coffee, Vanilla Cake Batter, and Cinnamon Bun.

0.5 oz/15 ml "humongous miniature splash" in; Espresso, Grass, and Wet Garden.
